About the Item

Set of 4 Holophane Prismatic Glass Sconces by André Blondel, France, 1920s Vintage Design The history of the HOLOPHANE company began in Paris in 1893. The French engineer André Blondel, with the help of the Greek engineer Spiridion Psaroudaki, invented “prismatic molded glass”. This process uses the principle of light diffraction. By cutting the glass into the shape of prisms cleverly distributed over its surface, the light beams can be oriented in a desired direction. On September 30, 1893, André Blondel filed the patent for his invention which he named “HOLOPHANE”. - Complete restoration with brass polishing while keeping their original patina (possibility of total shiny-mirror polishing of the brass on request), with a solid wall fixing ring, each lamp has been re-electrified with new wiring by a professional, connection with Socket converter for standard E27 bulb. - Glasses in PERFECT CONDITION - Each Lamp will be packaged in a wooden and foam box, tailor-made specifically for export Additional information: Materials: Brass, Glass Color: Copper Creator: André Blondel Manufacturer: Holophane Design Period: 1920 to 1949 Year: 1920 Country of Manufacture: France Identifying Marks: This piece has an attribution mark Style: Classical, Mid-Century, Industrial, Design Classics Product Code: LA-2121336 Dimensions: Height 27 cm, Diameter 18 cm Detailed Condition Excellent — This vintage/antique piece is in near original condition.
